The PlayStation 4's virtual reality headset, dubbed "PlayStation VR," finally has a release date and price.
On Tuesday, Sony revealed that PlayStation VR will launch in October 2016 and cost $399 for the headset (though that price doesn't include the required camera for positional tracking).

Just over 20 years ago, Nintendo released its least successful game console ever: the Virtual Boy. It was a red and black monstrosity with mostly terrible games.

The console was quickly scrapped in favor of more traditional hardware like the Nintendo 64 and GameCube.

There is no way Sony's virtual reality headset for the PlayStation 4 costs $800. None.

But that's the number being reported as leaked from an Amazon Canada listing that went up (and got subsequently removed) on Thursday evening.

Sony Corp has finally given the world an update on Project Morpheus, the virtual reality headset it has been working on for quite a few years now. The PlayStation maker showed off a new prototype of the device yesterday at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco.
Though the headset won’t be available to consumers until 2016, the president of worldwide studios for Sony computer entertainment, Shuhei Yoshida, said the device is close to the "final consumer product."
